I am looking for additional suggestions/feedback regarding a disc wheel set that I plan to build. Up to this point, I have always used straight gauge spokes however, after reading Jobst Brandt's "The Bicycle Wheel" I am compelled to use 14/15/14 swaged spokes. Please give me advice based on your experience using disc wheels laced with 14/15/14 spokes, 13/15/14 spokes or straight 14 gauge spokes. Also, what kind of results have you had with 4-cross lacing and discs?
The parts I have to use are as follows:
36-hole, ISO disc rear hub 32-hole, 20 mm ISO disc front hub Mavic D321 rims
The rear wheel will be used with either a 6 or 8 inch rotor. The front wheel will be used with an 8 inch rotor.

Lace three cross, head out or 'inside pulling' and use 14/15 spokes, brass nipps. This is the set up we have used for a couple 'o dozen disc wheelsets.
